Depleted uranium?

According to news reports there have been at least 2 Bunker busting Bombs dropped on Baghdad. Following reports that warplanes primarily capable of dropping depeted uranium weapons have been drafted into the area it leads to the conclusion that depleted Uranium Weapons have been utilised.

Depleted Uranium is used by the military because it is extraordinarily dense and hence very effective in penetrating bomb Shelters, Bunkers and re-inforced Buildings. Unfortunatly the Uranium is highly radioactive and the material has a half life measured in thousands of years.

Still, the prospect of contanimating a city with radiation thereby affecting not only the children in baghdad today, but all the unborn children of the future, is not enough to deter the American "liberating forces" from unleashing their deadly weapons.
